Our lockkeeper John White reports that the large Poplar tree at Eastington Park has fallen across the canal, towing path weir and garden at Pike Lock at Eastington. The canal is obstructed to all traffic and the weir and garden fence are damaged. I give early notice so the obstruction can be removed and repair of the damaged weir can be put in hand without delay'. I understand there are barges detained: at the time of writing no claims for damages.
